History
In 1998, the diocese opened the monastic women's Protection of the Virgin Mary Monastery in Ohio under then Bishop Job. In 2006, the monastery moved to Marshfield, Missouri.[3] Later, the Protection of the Virgin Mary Monastery moved once again to Weatherby, Missouri in the same neighbourhood as St. Xenia Sisterhood and Holy Archangel Michael and All Angels Skete, all located at a common address: 28650 105th Street in Weatherby, Missouri. The three separate monasteries on the same general grounds are under the jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Church in North and South America. Also, there is a fourth Serbian monastery (also women's convent) in Missouri in Greenfield -- St. Pachomious Monastery.
